Computers are either analog, generally used in scientific applications to measure and record continuously variable signals of an infinite number of values within a limited range of parameters at any particular time, or digital computers that operate from bits and bytes represent by discrete binary signals in the form of digits – 0s and 1s. Computers are typically categorized or classified by type based on speed (processor(s)), size, cost, and abilities (operating systems, applications, etc.).
